Bodog

Bodog Review

Bodog has been leading the gaming industry for almost 30 years, offering its customers a variety of casino games, sports betting and, of course, poker. At the moment, Bodog is best known as the Poker-room

Bodog is primarily a brand for the Canadian market, but this does not mean that players from other countries will not be interested in it.

The history of Casino Bodog

The Bodog brand was founded by the famous Canadian gambling expert Calvin Ayre back in 1994.  But officially on the American-Canadian gambling market, the Bodog bookmaker appeared only in 2001.  Before switching to “online” mode, the operator practiced only ground betting for several years.

With the development of the Internet industry, on the initiative of Calvin Ayre, such niches as e-Poker, Live-casino were created on Bodog (but later this idea was abandoned) and e-Games on jackpot.

In addition, Calvin Ayre founded a special e-Banx for paying players out of winnings. And at that time, almost all bookmakers made money transactions between themselves and customers through the payment systems Western Union and FedEx.

Review of the official Bodog website

The design of the official Bodog website will certainly not leave any visitor indifferent. It is very bright, but at the same time not gaudy. The site looks stylish in shades of gray combined with random bright colors in the menu and framed images.

There is no annoying animation, an abundance of advertising, and in General, the site is quite conservative. The menu is extremely clear and convenient. It is located on the left side of the page and organized according to the area you want to be in. So if you are interested in Poker, you can go there directly from the main site and follow the submenu to find what you need. The same goes for sports games, casinos, and horse racing.

You may be surprised, but horse racing on the Bodog website has its own category, unlike other bookmakers, where horses are part of the sports category.

The frontend features the most popular sections with announcements of significant sporting events and upcoming promotions. 

The list of sports is standard. Under sports there are sections with useful information for bettors: Articles, Promotions, Previews, and much more.

Sportbook is designed in a classic style:

• In the left column sports disciplines;
• A line opens in the center. Until the sport and match are selected, the center is occupied by an ad block;
• The coupon is located on the right;

Bodog blog

There is an interesting detail that is not typical for most bookmakers. The Bodog bookmaker’s website has a blog dedicated exclusively to betting coverage. Here, players can discuss matches, quotes, and nuances of specific bets. This is much better than the FAQ sections, which contain stingy answers to typical questions.

The blog also has a separate sports column where information on specific sports is reviewed from a professional point of view. However, the statistics section is not provided. Therefore, before betting, you should study the topic on other resources.

Site language: English, Spanish, Portuguese.

Bodog bookmaker

Bodog sports betting is one of the best sites to go to if you like to bet on sports and live in Canada. Football, basketball, and hockey are all to be expected at bookmakers, but Bodog also offers political bets and even bets on entertainment-related topics. For example, you can bet on who will win Big Brother Brazil or on the outcome of events in the series “The Witcher”

Line and quotes

Bodog differs significantly and favorably from competitors in its market segment. More than twenty sports disciplines, and in addition a lot of non-sporting sections where you can bet on political events in the world, show business and other social world events.

The bookmaker has a good idea of the European football theme. In addition to the top leagues, there are betting options for regional tournaments, such as the Estonian Cup or the Zimbabwe Cup.

Painting for top tournaments is up to fifty markets. There are special bets on scorers, goalkeepers, and various variants of combined bets.

In addition, tennis is presented at a fairly decent level. The painting is not as extensive as in football, but there is a good selection of handicaps, totals, including individual bets on sets.

In basketball, in addition to the NBA, you can find the leagues of Algeria, El Salvador, and New Zealand.

The average betting margin is approximately 4.5%.

LIVE section

There are no less than two hundred events every day, which is not quite typical for American offices. In this section, you can see a functional match tracker with the tableau and current statistics.

Special attention is paid to Live-Poker

Bodog Casino

Bodog Casino offers more than 150 models of different brands, including Real Time Gaming, Rival and Betsoft. There are also games of the company’s own production.

The range is divided into the following categories:

This includes several dozen 3D slots from BetsoftGaming and Real Time Gaming.

• Slots

Classic slot machines and video slots from leading manufacturers. This is the largest group.

Bodog supported the resurgent interest in traditional gaming machines, and the famous developer introduced the Total Overdrive slot. However, be prepared for surprises, because not everything in this model is designed in a classic style. Many of them are able to surprise you not only with their jackpots, but also with their avant-garde appearance, which is not typical for casinos.

The Bodog casino website offers several types of blackjack, including Zappit Blackjack.

All games are accompanied by pages with a detailed description of the rules.

Bodog Poker

Thanks to its work in the American market, the Poker-room attracts a huge number of players and is one of the five most popular, overtaking many major competitors.

The room occupies a confident third place among all online poker brands and attracts a huge number of fans to its products every day.

The company successfully spends a lot of money to attract new players to already one of the softest games online.

Bodog Poker runs on its own software, offering the opportunity to play hold’em, Omaha, seven-card Stud and several other less popular types of poker. Playing at cash tables is available at any time.

Main features of the room:

Feature of game

There is no table selection option in Bodog, and there is no table list either. The player can only select the limit and table type. Tables disappear from the lobby as soon as they are fully filled – so there are no waiting lists in the room, which has a positive effect on the internal ecosystem.

Bets start at 1 dollar and the Maximum allowed bet is 1000 dollars. And win-100,000 dollars.

Since the entire game is anonymous, Poker-room does not support classic trackers and converters. Deposit and Withdrawal is made only on the basis of our own Bodog banking.

The essence of playing poker on Bodog is that if you do it from Your computer or smartphone, then you need to download the Bodog app. This has its advantages, as having the app also allows you to access the entire range of Bodog casino games.

Bodog bonus

Since Bodog has three branches of development, the bonus program is quite extensive. But the disadvantage is that it is irregular and you need to carefully monitor all updates of promotions and bonuses.
